SF 2043: Relating to special landowner deer hunting licenses
Became SF 2242 · Its progress continues under the new number.
What it does
This bill relates to special landowner deer hunting licenses. The bill allows the two special deer hunting licenses issued to resident landowners or tenants, or their family members, to be used without first designating the season of use for the license. The bill allows the licenses to be used in any open season using a method of take authorized for that season. Current law specifies that the licenses may only be used during any bow or firearm deer hunting season and for harvesting deer during two different seasons.
